Gregg's Quiz #33

by Gregg Cattanach
5 January 2007


Gregg Cattanach

I've collected seven problems where the player didn't manage to come up with the best play. The rollout results disagree with the play made at the board. Try to work out the best play amongst all the possibilities.

I hope you've all had a fine holiday season. I've decided to make this my last quiz. I've enjoyed preparing the problems but don't have the time that I'd like to devote to it anymore. I hope you've enjoyed the positions and have found it challenging. Good luck in your future play, and keep on solving your own problems!

The scoring system is based on the equity differences between the plays. Getting the best play earns 10 points, and for every 0.015 equity points your selection is worse than the best play, you get one less point. A similar system with 0.040 increments determines the points for the cube actions.
